Audio in Pokémon Channel is sparse and sometimes annoying, thanks to the signature cries of the menagerie of pokémon. You'll hear some catchy music in the assorted programs, but it starts to grate after some of the mandatory repeated viewings you'll have to endure. The various sound effects in the game are fine but minimal. This sadly puts the weight of the audio burden on the pokémon voices, which, while accurate, are naturally repetitive.

As one of the most unique games in a renowned series, Pokémon Snap was the first truly 3-D Pokémon game and introduced the phenomenon to the Nintendo 64. Travel to Pokémon Island and meet Professor Oak to begin a safari, taking the best possible photographs of 63 different Pokémon as they exist in the wild, undisturbed by humans. This is not as easy as it sounds—the island has many types of climates and environments to explore, along with secret activities and hidden passages to discover. Plus, some of the Pokémon can be a little shy and won’t pose for the camera unless you tease them with special items. After you’re done, submit one picture of each Pokémon to Professor Oak, and he’ll judge it based on size, pose, technique and number of Pokémon captured.

Pokémon Emerald is a Game Boy Advance RPG. It is a third, "special" version of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, in the same way Pokémon Yellow was a third version of the Pokémon Red and Blue generation. It features limited Nintendo DS capabilities, including interactivity with the DS game, Pokémon Dash. The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games.

In essence, Pokémon Ranger is simply a game about drawing rings around monsters. Depending on the type, size and power of the creature in question, a larger number of rings will be required to capture it - little Pichu takes but a single circle while Charizard or Steelix can take upwards of twenty continuous loops. And herein lies the tricky part. With the Pokémon constantly moving and attacking to avoid capture, it's not as easy as it sounds to encircle them the desired number of times, especially when there's more than one monster running around the bottom screen. Each reacts differently to the line formed by drawing with the stylus and while some will just speed around to avoid capture and perhaps loose the odd attack, others will go out of their way to try and bust the line. Often, touching a Pokémon will simply break the line and force you to start again but if the line is attacked, the 'styler' (the device used to capture Pokémon) will be damaged and eventually break, causing the dreaded 'Game Over'.
